Our first KungFu Teaset
Lately started to find it cool in a lot of Chinese elements.
KungFu tea set for example.
As a Chaoshanese,I should, but don’t know a lot of this art of traditional tea-serving. This is a set Gordo bought from Xiamen. I like this un-complicated look. cute and cool. together he bought some modestly expensive Woo-long, and with the simple tools I started playing.
Of course I am very clumsy. There are rules about water temperature, to each type of tea, the height to which one should hold the kettle while pouring water, etc, etc. But I play it simple. Drink it or leave it.
There is a sweet after-taste to this type of Woo-Long. Love it. Of course last night I couldn’t close my eyes until after 2am.

Rog, the 1st 2 days I stayed awake until after 2:30 in the morning. From there I got numb. Now I drink it in the evening and sleep all right. They also said drinking green tea makes you slim, but I know wouldn’t work for me.

its because the effect is mild and my stomach is resistant. Some people have diarreah or stomach pain after super spicy food. Mine has never complained.I could eat cold, hot, sweet, salty altogether and my body wouldn’t react.

Rog u’r asking the wrong person. I used to think all teas taste the same, no matter brand or price. The only one I thought has a distinctive feature is chrisanthemum–and I put sugar to it! That’ll tell you how much I know about tea.
But I also heard the good Pu-erh is REALLY good! It takes time and experience to develop a fine taste.
